| lions has acted on the senate amend
ment to the sundTy civil appropriation
| bill. Among the amendments added are
the following:
For a court house and post
office at Jefferson, Tex, S25, 900,

union or confederate, who were killed
in battle or died in prisons or hospitals,
are not embraced in any national city,
town or village cemetery, or are unpro-
| tected by enclosure OF unmarked by
deadstOnes, and if there be any such
graves what amount of money would
be necessary to properly fence and per-
manently mark the same.
| A PROTEST.
| A communication from the director
of the mint was to-day transmitted to
the house protesting against the re-
duction made in the estimates for the
mint service by the appropriation
committee; of the failure of the COM
mittee to provide for the operation of
the Carson City mint and assay Office.
The director having expressed his views
| to the committee on the subject has
nothing to say, but with reference to
all other minis he declares that the
| estimates were made for the smallest
appropriations consistent with their
business in each without reduction of
salaries, which he says it is well known
are not such as can be reasonably re-
duced, especially under the circum-
stances; that they are for services with
out exception more or less of an expert
character and are at the lowest point
consistent with skill, efficiency, accur-
acy and fidelity in work where these
are indispensable requisites.
A NEW AGENCY WANTED.
The secretary of the interior concurs
in the recommendation of the commits
SiOner of pensions that provision be
made by congress for the establishment
of an additional pension agency. The
commissioner in an accompanying COM
munication says that in view of the
passage of the Mexican pension bill
New Orleans would be the most suit
able location for the new agency.
